CoAL to buy Rio Tinto’s South African coal assets

Rio Tinto’s Kennecott mine in Utah now runs entirely on renewable diesel, giving it one of the lowest carbon footprints among US copper producers.

Rio Tinto confirmed the death of a contracting company employee at the SimFer port site in Guinea, offering condolences and support to those affected.

The SAMSA announced that salvage efforts for the wrecked MV Ultra Galaxy off South Africa’s west coast are now focused on removing the vessel.

Transnet has begun increasing coal rail volumes to Richards Bay, with fewer security incidents, amid a decline in SA coal exports due to unreliable rail services.

Over 200 people are mobilised to clean up oil from the MV Ultra Galaxy which has further torn into pieces, while the CMA CGM Belem awaits berthing.

Transnet is struggling with massive debt, widespread theft, and vandalism on its rail network, exacerbated by alleged corruption in its security tendering process.
